Training
and continuing education
The Certification Departmernt at STFI offers you extensive options for customised seminars on the topic of "Personal Protective Equipment", depending on the scope and content as a one-day or multi-day event.
In order to successfully operate in the field of Personal Protective Equipment, information about the content and importance of current harmonized standards is a key success factor. The knowledge about regulations and rules, basic requirements to protective clothing as well as the regularly changing normative requirements for the products, up to essential test methods are equally important for manufacturers and fabric suppliers. Whether as an in-house seminar at your premises or as an event at our premises, the training content is tailored to the wishes and needs of your company. At seminars at the STFI, the theoretical explanations are backed up with practical demonstrations directly on the test equipment in the laboratories. Of course, each participant receives comprehensive training and information material.
